Last Thursday night, March 12th, Isaac and I went with a team from First Baptist Lutz and Tera Ritchie to Suitcase City to feed the homeless. You might be wondering what this has to do with our Peru trip, but I had told Isaac that it would be similar to Peru in that we were helping those less fortunate than ourselves. Iwas SO PROUD of Isaac! He jumped right in and helped, and after some initial hesitation, he walked around with me to talk to some of the people we served. For a child that can be so reserved, he was in his element and shined at doing what God created him to do. I can't wait to see him in action in Peru!!

Local Soccer Camp for Blanton Baptist Church
As a warm up for the Peru mission trip, we are working on doing a local soccer camp for a Baptist Church in Dade City Florida. This soccer camp will be a one day camp that will help us to get back into the swing of things. Blanton Baptist Church has invited us to work with them on connecting with their community through the soccer camps. We are looking forward to this work. Pray for the work that we will be doing on April 26 2009.
Dates Set for Peru 2009
Here we go again, the dates are set for the 2009 mission trip to Peru. We will be heading to the piura peru where Juan is relocating his family and Lisa is once again working the mission field. Planning is still in the works, but with only four months before our next trip we are locking it down. At current there are 16 people heading on this trip. The mission work this year will happen between August 1, 2009 until August 8, 2009.
